How our corporate hog roast works in Farringdon
In Farringdon, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a simple way to say thank you. We are frequently asked to cater customer days and summer team parties, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around Farringdon, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Farringdon: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Barbican Conservatory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Farringdon?
Farringdon has its own station: Farringdon station.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
